How to carving turns

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76N7S9NdaT8
•  Stance:
  • balanced and centered to carve.
  • knees bent, back straight, hands at ur sides over ur snowboard nose and tail
• Edging:
  • flex ur angles to increase angle of snowboard and lock in ur edge
• Steering:
  • turn front end of shoulder/knee in for the toe carve
  • turn front end of shoulder/knee out for the heal carve
• Pressure
  • bent knees around the turn to absorb the pressure
  • bent back knee more to absorb the pressure at the end of the turn
• Adapt
  • small carve for mellow and low speed
  • large carve for steep and high speed

• rear hand hold the paints, front arm steering and lower the leading shoulder
• keep the weight on the front foot
